I don't think taildocking or ear piercing a young baby is cruel. I just think it's pointless.
But vaccinations in children and canines alike are necessary (at least most people would agree! Over-vaccination is something that's happening but of course, that's a seperate issue). But a pup getting an injection to protect it from diseases different from docking a tail in my opinion because it's not needed. |
Well a docked tail "IS" required to show in the conformation ring in the USA so yes in a show breeders arena it is needed..BUT with that said I wouldn't do it IF I KNEW it would cause my dogs great pain and life long suffering which it's been proven for many years that's not the case
I still think that other life threatening issues are way more important...but if one choose not to dock honestly I don't mind but just know it's not suppose to be in the show ring because it's not what the standard calls for and please don't get upset if I would tell you it's not following the rules of the standard
